A construction worker has been killed at the site of Imperial Pacific International Holdings’ in-development permanent casino on Saipan.

On Wednesday, IPI announced that a 43-year-old Chinese national had died while working on IPI’s Imperial Pacific Resort Hotel Saipan (pictured). The unidentified worker reportedly fell from a scaffolding on Wednesday morning and later succumbed to his injuries.

IPI chairman Mark Brown extended condolences to the worker’s family, while expressing “serious concern” that its subcontractors “exercise Safety First at the construction site.” Brown also expressed concern regarding reports of workers who “infringe the law.”

This is the second serious disruption at the construction site in as many weeks, coming just eight days after work was halted due to a “trash fire” that was ignited by welding sparks falling on “construction material debris.”
